How to check RPW CDF compliance with Solar Orbiter data standards?

There is no ESA-provided software to check CDF compliance against Solar Orbiter data standards (SOL-SGS-TN-0009).

However the ROC has started to develop a light Python program to check RPW/Solar Orbiter data compliance.

A first version of this tool can be found in https://gitlab.obspm.fr/ROC/DataPool/-/blob/master/SOLO/RPW/CDF/Tools/check_rpw_l1l2.py (restricted access).

The program must be run under Python 3.6+ and requires spacepy module. Enter 'python check_rpw_l1l2.py –help' to display help message.

How to check RPW CDF compliance with NASA ISTP/SPDF data standards?

The NASA-provided software SKTeditor (https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/skteditor/) can be used  to check compliance of CDF file against NASA ISTP/SPDF data standards.

An instance of the SKTeditor is installed in the roc2-dev.obspm.fr server to run CDF check using the dedicated command line interface (see "How to run the NASA SKTeditor CLI  in the roc2-dev.obspm.fr sever?")

How to run the NASA SKTeditor CLI in the roc2-dev.obspm.fr server?

From a BASH-shell terminal logged in roc2-dev.obspm.fr server:

First setup the environment by entering:

source /usr/local/lib/cdf/current/bin/definitions.B

export CLASSPATH=.:${CDF_JAVA}/classes/cdfjava.jar:${CDF_JAVA}/cdftools/CDFToolsDriver.jar:${CDF_JAVA}/cdfml/cdfml.jar:"$CLASSPATH"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${CDF_JAVA}/lib:${CDF_LIB}:"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/cdf/skteditor:"$CLASSPATH"

N.B. These instructions can also be inserted into a .bashrc to be run at start.

Then, to check the compliance of a given <cdf_filename>, enter:

java -cp /usr/local/lib/cdf/skteditor/spdfjavaClasses.jar gsfc.spdf.istp.tools.CDFCheck <cdf_filename>
